kowtow

podcast-logo.png Today's word was suggested by my dad. Since yesterday's word came from my sister, you might have guessed I am getting to spend more time with my family as the holidays approach.

The word is kowtow. It is a verb that means to bow down to or submit to. For example, if you keep doing whatever your sister asks she won't respect you. You must stop kowtowing.

The term kowtow actually comes from the Chinese custom bowing to your knees and touching your forehead to the ground.
